ABSTRACT

In this article have been proposed the design objectives for an integrated guidance system of a commercial launch vehicle with application of GPS technologies and has been set a technical problem of the conceptual design of an integrated navigation system for the space launch vehicle qualified to inject small artificial Earth satellites into low and medium circular orbits. The conceptual design of the integrated navigation system based on GPS technology involves determination of its structure, models and algorithms, providing the required accuracy and reliability in injecting payloads with due regard to restrictions on weight and dimensions of the system.
